House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday morning that she is against GOP efforts to pass a smaller stimulus package, adding that Democrats are not willing to pass the deal now and reconvene on outstanding issues later.

“There is no later with this administration,” she said referring to the Trump administration. “This is the opportunity. And the skinny deal is a Republican bill: That’s not a deal at all,” Pelosi added. “They’re making a skinny—in fact, [Sen.] Chuck Schumer and I call it an emaciated—proposal for a massive problem.”
